Have I Not Commanded You

God spoke to Joshua
reminding him what's been said
saying you should know this
you indeed must eat this bread
Indeed before I have said
this command you must do
be strong be a real man
show courage indeed be true
Don't let fear take it's grip
rise above the satanic lie
never let your heart listen
to the voice destined to die
God is assuredly with you
no need to be dismayed
wherever you will go
the Lord is your divine aid
Jehovah Shammah is with you
Joshua found the Lord is there
have I not commanded you?
yes for you know His constant care
